In this study, the extraction efficiency of rhenium ions in the form of perrhenate (ReO4?) from model aqueous solutions was investigated using a binary ion-exchange system based on KU-2-8 (strongly acidic cation-exchange resin) and AV-17-8 (strongly basic anion-exchange resin). The ion exchangers were separately weighed and combined in varying molar ratios (6:0, 5:1, 4:2, 3:3, 2:4, 1:5, and 0:6), and were immobilized within a chemically resistant polypropylene mesh bag to maintain phase separation while allowing s...

This study investigates the flotation-based enrichment of black shale raw materials to selectively separate uranium and rare earth metals (REMs). The efficiency of various reagent systems-xanthogenate, kerosine, and paraffin with trichloroisocyanuric acid (TCCA)-was examined under different grinding fineness conditions. The initial material showed significant concentrations of uranium (0.188%) and REMs, with carbon content reaching up to 15%. The highest uranium removal (up to 98%) into mineral tailings was achiev...
